Gardai are continuing to question a 64-year-old man in connection with the disappearance of Mary Boyle almost 40 years ago.
The six-year-old, from Kincasslagh in Co Donegal, went missing while visiting her grandparents in Ballyshannon in March 1977.
A 64 year-old man was arrested in the midlands yesterday. He is being held at Mullingar Garda Station.
Kieran Kenny, the Assistant Garda Commissioner for the Northern Region, spoke to the press yesterday regarding the arrest of a man in connection with the disappearance of Mary Boyle in Donegal in 1977.
“New lines of evidence have emerged, which have led us to where we are here today, in that a man in his 60s was arrested this morning in relation to the kidnapping of Mary Boyle in Donegal in 1977,” Kenny said.
